Excercise Technique<br />
Pull up:<br />
Begin standing under the bar, gripping the bar<br />
overhead with your palms facing away from<br />
you and your hands a little wider than shoulder<br />
width apart. Inhale as you begin the lift.<br />
Initiate the upward movement by squeezing<br />
your shoulder blades back and bending your<br />
elbows to lift your body off the ground. Keep<br />
your chest up and head straight. Exhale as you<br />
pull.<br />
Stop the movement when your chin has passed<br />
over the bar.<br />
Slowly return to the start position under control<br />
stopping when your arms are extended. Do not<br />
allow your feet to touch the ground.<br />
Chin up:<br />
The movement is the same as the pull up<br />
except that your hands grip the bar with your<br />
palms facing you and your hands are no wider<br />
than shoulder width apart.<br />
Narrow-grip pull up:<br />
The movement is the same as the regular<br />
pull up except the hands are spaced<br />
approximately a fist distance apart.<br />
